Does he already have what it takes to fight T'Chaka?
T'Challa felt the hand that was pinching his throat getting tighter and tighter. A feeling of suffocation he had never felt before entered his brain, and the fear of death instantly surged into his heart.
He immediately grabbed Eric's hands and tried to pry them apart, but it was difficult and he was about to faint.
In the end, Eric sneered, threw him out like garbage, and spared his life.
Ignoring T'Challa who was coughing on the ground, Eric returned to the bar, holding a bottle of red wine in one hand, sitting on the sofa, and pouring the whole bottle of red wine into his mouth.
He is thirsty all the time and needs to replenish water all the time.
"Are you here today to expose me? It's a bit rash for you to come alone."
After a long while, T'Challa finally stood up from the ground, with his palms against his neck. He seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but it did not affect his speech.
"No, I'm not here to accuse you. I just want to know what it will take for you to let go of your hatred."
T'Challa said sincerely, "You should understand that no matter how much you dislike it, you are still a Wakandan. If you destroy Wakanda, you are destroying your only home in this world."
"What are you trying to say?" Eric sneered. "Let me put aside my hatred and just be your dog? How can someone who kills his closest siblings be qualified to be king?"
T'Challa was speechless. Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering.
He put himself in the other person's shoes and thought that even if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to let go of such deep hatred.
So he made a decision.
"What if... I support you to become the next king?" asked T'Challa.
Eric paused, turned his head sharply, and looked at T'Challa in disbelief.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Nowadays, there are still people who voluntarily give up power. Such a great wronged person is rarely seen in a thousand years!
"If you are willing to end the hatred right now, I am willing to support you in taking the throne."
"Why?" Eric asked curiously, "Why do you want to do this?"
"Wakanda needs unity right now," T'Challa said calmly. "And in today's complex international situation, perhaps a strong monarch is what Wakanda needs most."
"You should have been strengthened, right?" Otherwise, T'Challa would not have been beaten unilaterally.
Eric didn't answer, but his attitude was tacit.
"That's good too. If you can become the Black Panther, there will be less resistance from the Elders..."
No, wait a minute.
Eric was a little confused. How could T'Challa decide this matter in just a few words?
Did he agree?
"Just wait for me!"
"What? Are you still dissatisfied?"
"No, but I'm confused." Eric narrowed his eyes slightly. "If nothing unexpected happens, you are T'Chaka's chosen successor. As long as you don't make any big mistakes, you are almost certain to be the next king. Why are you helping me?"
....0 ...
T'Challa was silent for a moment before he said, "The interests of Wakanda are above everything else, even above the royal family. This is what my father taught me."
"As kings and Black Panthers, we are protectors and can make any sacrifice when necessary."
"But I do not follow his approach. I believe that mistakes like yours should be corrected."
"Are you trying to erase the crime your father committed against my father in this way?" Eric showed a ferocious expression again.
T'Challa said nothing, his silence representing his determination.
Seeing this, Eric suddenly laughed. Although it was a little unexpected, if this was true, then this guy was an unprecedented idiot!
"I have a condition."
T'Challa perked up: "You go ahead."
"I need your sister's help to make me a suit of battle gear."
"Okay, I'll convince her."
Since it has been decided that Eric will take over the title of Black Panther, this is only natural.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Eric didn't know why, but he always felt a little unhappy.
He had worked so hard to get what he wanted, but T'Challa gave it up easily.
This made him feel as if he had picked up something left behind by someone else, which was extremely unpleasant.
And he couldn't be sure that what T'Challa said was what he really thought. After all, his father was a despicable man, so who could guarantee that he wasn't a despicable kid?
Chapter 1044 The time for war begins
The next day, T'Challa suddenly entered the scene when the king was holding political consultations with Sokovia and other elders, and announced a news that no one expected.
He decided to nominate Eric as the next king and publicly accused the current king, T'Chaka, of his incompetence in the war.
This scene not only surprised the Sokovian group, but even shocked the elders.
T'Chaka's blood pressure soared on the spot because of his son's outrageous move, and he almost fainted from anger.
Natasha watched a good show, but it didn't last long before outsiders like her were politely asked to leave the palace.
"I never thought T'Challa would make such a choice, to give up the throne and choose to support someone like Eric to take the throne."
"Do you really think he is such a simple person?" Dane had a different opinion.
The two are now talking through holograms, and except that they can't touch each other, it's as if the people involved are right next to each other.
"The situation in Wakanda hasn't changed substantially. They've just bought a little more time. War will still break out."
"Although using Taloc'an to attract hatred is a good tactic, compared to Wakanda, which has already gone through two rounds of trials and has deeply developed vibranium, Taloc'an is not as important as they imagined."
Although Taloqan is geographically closer to the United States, it requires underwater mining, which is much more difficult than land mining.
What's more, it is almost impossible for the Talocan people to harvest anything other than vibranium. They do not have the vibranium technology to develop with it, but the difficulty of conquering it is not small at all.
This is not like the time on the African land. The Talocans only need to defend underwater, and the American Navy may find it more difficult to attack them than to deal with the Wakandans.
Unless they are willing to detonate a nuclear bomb underwater, but how to deliver the nuclear bomb to the corresponding location is also a problem. In short, there are a lot of troubles, but the benefits are no more than Wakanda.
So why not continue to target Wakanda? After all, Wakanda has been assessed and is safe to touch.
So after internal discussions in the United States, the decision was made to focus on Wakanda.
Of course, they will not forget Taloqan, the enemy who dared to touch the tiger's beard. Even if the military cannot spare troops, they still have civilian power.
In the United States, there are many military-industrial companies that are interested in Talochan's vibranium. Osborn is one of them, and even Stark Enterprises is inevitably interested.
After all, it is vibranium ore, a very useful resource for Stark's Iron Man Corps plan.
Therefore, even if the American government did not devote much attention to it, there were still people approaching Taloqan with various purposes, making Namor overwhelmed.
Although he often boasted to Eric that Taloqan was an underwater kingdom, in fact, with Taloqan's national strength, it was a bit difficult to be called a kingdom.
Even after a hundred years of cultivation, the total population of Talokan is only tens of thousands, and the number of troops that can be squeezed out is even smaller. In terms of war potential, it cannot compare with any country with a permanent army.
That is to say, relying on their maneuverability in water, they can defeat the enemy with fewer troops, but with such consumption, how long can their elite troops last?
It is precisely because of this difficult situation that Namor no longer has the extra time to take care of Eric, and Wakanda can only rely on itself now.
Fortunately, with T'Challa's support, the reins around Eric's neck loosened a little, allowing him to do more.
One of them is to carry out comprehensive military reform.
Using his own troops as a template, he quickly expanded modern combat thinking to the entire Wakanda army.
T'Chaka was very opposed to his radicalism, but T'Challa was now a traitor, and his opinion did not have much effect in the face of the decision of T'Challa and the Elders.
The military reform went very smoothly. In just one month, Wakanda's army had a different look.
Natasha took notice of this new army and shared it with her boss.
"They, like Eric, have been infected with wolf nature."
Dane commented.
In the past, Wakanda gave people the impression of being a primitive people, basically a mob.
Wakanda is now like a wolf pack with a leader. Although the people are still the same and the equipment is still the same, the combat effectiveness has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Now all that’s left is a tough battle to truly transform Wakanda.
And this opportunity soon came.
After more than a month of wrangling, NATO forces finally approached Wakanda.
"I see. Such a large-scale protective shield, and then a layer of holographic projection on the outside?"
The joint forces made a rough estimate of the range of the entire Wakanda dome shield through measurement.
"Well, first, let's destroy this holographic projection."
Five minutes later, a special missile was launched and exploded about fifty meters above the dome shield. In terms of explosion range alone, it was not even as good as an ordinary grenade, but its interior emitted a special electromagnetic wave in all directions.
Under the influence of the electromagnetic waves, the mountains and forests in front of the joint army suddenly produced a snowflake-like chaotic screen phenomenon. Large areas of forests and hilltops disappeared, and many man-made structures appeared in the original jungle.
On a high cliff, a stone-carved black panther with its head held high and roaring seems to be staring at the invaders in front of it.
Behind it was a vast plain and the army assembled on the plain. Far behind the army stood a completely modern city, the height of the royal palace of which was eye-catching.
Eric, wearing a black and gold Black Panther armor, stood on the central army's command vehicle. He revealed his face and looked grimly at the joint forces outside the shield.
"Open the protective shield in front!"
Eric had no intention of waiting for the enemy to attack. Since the enemy dared to come, they must have a way to break the dome shield.
The dome shield is the shield that the Wakandans are most proud of. It has brought a sense of security to the people of Wakandans all year round. If possible, it is best not to let it break in front of the people.
The central control room received Eric's order. Ben was still a little hesitant, but T'Challa was standing next to them and nodded at them.
Soon, the protective shield in front of the Wakanda army opened a portal about one kilometer wide, as if inviting the enemy to enter.
"Have the guts!"
The commander of the coalition forces laughed, and then sent countless drones into the air to start the fight!
"Fire a salvo!" Eric ordered coldly.
Behind the army, countless missiles were also launched into the air, and then dispersed into more small missiles in the air, splashing down on the drones like a storm.
A series of explosions kicked off the battle!
Chapter 1045 Talokan's Determination
The two sides fought in a melee, and people from all directions watched.
There were many spectators in the war between Wakanda and the United Forces. Many countries that were not well-informed only learned at this moment that there was a country called Wakanda in the world.
Moreover, this country's military strength is no less than that of the United Nations.
Under Eric's reform, Wakanda was finally able to give full play to its technological strength, and all weapons and equipment were finally put to good use.
Knowing that the joint army must have that magical recovery potion, the Wakanda side used a large number of area attack weapons and chose to kill the enemy at large scale.
In addition, every Wakanda soldier's weapon is equipped with a ballistic corrector, which can let the computer complete all the calculations required for the aiming step.
This way, qualified sharpshooters can be mass-produced. We cannot say that every shot will hit the enemy's head, but if there is a little more than half chance of hitting the enemy's head out of ten shots, it is enough to cause effective damage to the coalition forces.
Moreover, since Eric officially entered the center of power, he also specifically ordered Nakia, who was active in America, to steal some recovery potions and bring them back.
Even the heavily guarded Wakanda 28 will cause vibranium smuggling problems, and the sieve-like America cannot stop the infiltration of those with ulterior motives.
What's more, as a manufacturer, Umbrella did not guard Wakanda strictly.
Therefore, Nakia easily stole the sample of the healing potion.
Thanks to Shuri's efforts, Wakanda successfully imitated this potion and produced it in large quantities.
In other words, Wakanda now also has the characteristics of being almost invincible. The advantages of both sides are basically equal. The rest depends on the ability of their respective commanders.
In this regard, Eric, playing at home, has a natural advantage.
Barely two hours into the war, Wakanda had repelled multiple attacks by the United Nations forces, preventing them from completely crossing the protective shield.
